WelIert in consequence of our familiarity with the ccle' brated pictures and illustrations in which, they are represented, so will onr notion of Dolly Vardeui ; be limited to that of the artist, combineJ With the" deaoriptioc which Dickens has given, to her. ; In this she appears in a " cn'erry;coIored 'J hood and cloak, add a hat "trimmed with cherry-colored ribbons, &e. : But, graceful aud attractive as she is, there" is noth. ing iu j common between her. and the, young ladies ' of the present day, rbp have their own peculiar grace and attractiveness. She lived and flourished, while our War of Independence . was going on, and in which her lover lost ah arm. To find any one who would resemble, her, we should have to go back to our great grandmothers 'and herein if a partial mystery of the Dollys Vardctl furor.' - Some one in all probability ad' enterprising dressmaker started the notion that one of tbe,most striking novej ties in tbe. way of. costume for ladies would be a revival of the antiquated flowered-chintz overskirts worn by Eo glish ladies in the middle of. the las 6 century, aud it has been as successful , a bit as any that has been made for some time. Accordingly, the loibodied dress,' with pkirts well looped np, sleeves tight to the elbow, and then suddenly assuming the dimensions of sacks, leaving tbe portion of the arm below the elbowbare,' is to be the costume or me season at home, it is to be hoped, 'for jt- wtald scarcely do for' walking ' or -riaiog inj' without some, modification. ,n Aud. patterns ot", every hue and evory,, variety., of sprig and flower, .are displayed . ia tlio-store wiudows, to' the no little anxiety' of hnterf tnu'lias, who begins to wonder'what sort of appearancbt bisi women-folki are going to assume, , when .ibey , step forth out of, the bands of. the modiste, with tlieir straw hats looped up on one 6ido, ct la Polly, and their flowered skirts1 lc'pp ed np on both sides, 'displaying the-scarlet or - brown : under-garment,-. in which our great-grandmothers, delighted, and wlicli they wore short so' as to display the open clocks of their' red stocking's,' and the shining silver1 buckles of their high-heeled shoes. Along with. the Dolly Varden hats and dresses oixre -Jftuj Varden Jewelry and knick-knacks. It was an ingenious idl to revive H" this in the name of Dickens'- popular heroine; bnt it might as well have been dona in. the name of Clarissa Harlowp,.er S pba AVesternjor , 12 valine,, ir Olivia' Primrose,, 'or "any other heroine 01 the pcrioJj for 'they all dressed in the same, costume" as Dolly -Varden did.""- "" So far indscd, as looped -skirts are.rconceroed,' they have been in vogue more .orJcss" fof a century, and a . half, andt thisvery time are fashionable in walking drtisses,' The Dolly Varden1 bvefskirt1 is riot "atf much a novelty io itself; the attraction of it ia to be found, ; one,, may., suppose, in the , flowered pattern of the material of. which itis made., . ......
